At first, Tang Xiaomao and his companions only learned from everyone's discussions that the people here were all time travelers.
Although the reason is unknown, it is a fact that an entire village has transmigrators.
But after the anomaly occurred, Tang Xiaomao was able to instantly determine who was a time traveler and who wasn't.
Because at this moment, a square appeared above the heads of all the time travelers.
That's right.
It's similar to the thing that's on top of a character's head in an online game.
Tang Xiaomao also had one, and a voice was prompting him to name it.
"Why... why did the art style suddenly change from time travel to a game?"
Although he was suspicious, Tang Xiaomao did not hesitate for long and quickly gave himself the name 'Xiaomao Tang'.
Sure enough, the three characters 'Xiao Mao Tang' appeared in the box above his head.
At the same time, names gradually appeared above the heads of the people around them, within square frames.
For example, Zhang Yi, who was standing next to me, actually gave himself the name 'Immortal Venerable Zhang'.
This moment inspired Tang Xiaomao, who felt that the name the other party had chosen was more imposing.
Unfortunately, when he wanted to change his name, he found that it would cost 1,000 experience points to change it once.
He doesn't even know what experience points are or how to obtain them, so naturally he can't change his name.
So I can only console myself with this thought:
"It's alright. The art style has changed from time travel to game, which means it's better to keep the name ordinary. A name as flashy as Zhang Yi's might attract attention."
Thinking this, Tang Xiaomao looked at Zhao Lixian, who had come along earlier, and discovered that the other party had named himself 'The Heartbroken'.
It seems the other person is still holding a grudge about having just made a down payment on a house in their 'previous life'.
[Ding! Attention all players in Jinyang Village! The 'Heroic Adventure' event is about to begin. Players can gain experience points by defeating monsters outside the village...]
Each time a player dies, they will automatically lose one level and randomly drop one piece of equipment, which can be picked up by other players nearby. The deceased player will respawn in Jinyang Village...
[Leveling up will improve your overall physical attributes. Players are encouraged to reach level 10, at which point they will have the opportunity to travel to the Huixin Sword Sect at the mountaintop to learn martial arts and swordsmanship...]
Everyone present was stunned into silence; clearly, they had all heard the sound coming from the sky.
Once the announcement ended, some impatient people rushed out of the village, clearly intending to follow the instructions in the announcement and kill the monsters.
However, some things didn't move for the time being, because the moment the announcement was made, NPCs suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the village that originally only had players.
Even those who aren't seasoned gamers know one thing: in games, interacting with NPCs often triggers certain quests.
Completing the tasks given by NPCs often yields more experience points than killing monsters, making it a shortcut to leveling up...
"Brother Mao, where are we going?"
Suddenly, Zhang Yi, the "Immortal Venerable Zhang" standing to the side, asked a question.
Judging from the kid's eager expression, he seemed very excited about the time travel suddenly turning into a game.
In fact, Tang Xiaomao was in a similar situation, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Let's go kill monsters outside the village. Although we don't know how this game works, it's best to level up to 10 as soon as possible. As for taking on quests, there are too many people in the village, so we can't possibly handle them all!"
"That's what I think too!"
Zhang Yi nodded, then asked Zhao Lixian, the 'heartbroken man' beside him:
"Hey, Lao Zhao, what about you? Are you still with us?"
The heartbroken man shook his head and said:
"No, it's not worth it. You guys go by yourselves!"
Seeing his appearance, neither Tang Xiaomao nor Zhang Yi offered any advice.
We've only met by chance, so asking one more question is already quite kind of us.
To use a popular internet phrase, it's about 'respecting other people's fate'.
Since Zhao Lixian is dejected, let him be dejected.
Having figured this out, Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi walked together out of the village.
However, the two of them soon discovered something interesting.
Just now, they saw their 'game panel' again, which now included a team-up prompt in addition to their game name and level 0 information.
"Brother Mao, what kind of place is this? It feels both magical and eerie!"
Zhang Yi asked with some surprise.
Tang Xiaomao was much calmer and said:
"Never mind all that, let's hurry up and kill monsters. Judging from that announcement, leveling up will improve your physical attributes."
For us, it increases our survival ability. To understand how this works, we only have a chance to survive to the end!
"You're right, let's hurry up and kill the monsters, but these little monsters... uh, they're a bit too small!"
Zhang Yi said, somewhat puzzled.
Tang Xiaomao also had this question.
As for how they discovered the monster, it was because they had already seen the health bar above the monster's head.
However, just as Zhang Yi said, these monsters in front of them were far too small.
It turned out to be ants crawling out of an anthill, grasshoppers hopping around, and things like butterflies and caterpillars.
The other players who had just run out of the village were already frantically killing the ants.
Not to be outdone, Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi seized an ant hole and began causing trouble.
In no time, a batch of dead ants appeared on the ground.
It has to be said that this game is incredibly realistic.
After these ant-like monsters are killed, their corpses don't respawn.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi also saw their experience points increase.
About ten minutes later, the two of them felt a heat in their bodies and their level increased to level 1.
Both of them felt their strength increase significantly.
After testing each other, we found that their defenses seemed to have improved considerably.
This made Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi even more determined to kill monsters, and they cleared out one ant hole after another.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who cleared out the ant hole.
In fact, most players are killing ants at this time, because they are the easiest to kill.
It's just strange that there are so many ant holes in this place, but once you think about it, you don't bother to think about it too much.
After tirelessly killing the ant monsters, Tang Xiaomao and Zhang Yi finally leveled up to level five after several hours.
At this moment, they felt they were already very powerful, and that was indeed the case.
However, after reaching level five, simply killing ant monsters is no longer enough to meet the leveling requirements.
So the players in Jinyang Village turned their attention to the only large river outside the village.
Because they can see the fish in the river, who also bear the title of "little monster".
